  • Thank you for the work you’re doing!

    Happy Homebirth is the reason I switched to a Homebirth and felt empowered to do so.

    Thank God

    It’s these stories by other women that remind me how God made us perfectly able to birth. With that there is a wide range of variations of normal and the only way to learn them is by other stories. Oh, the power of stories.

  • Encouraging and educational!

    I am pregnant with my first child-40 weeks today! This podcast has been so encouraging throughout my pregnancy! It has taught me that there are endless versions of a normal pregnancy, labor, and birth. To hear from so many women conquering their fears through childbirth is amazing! I know I can be one of those women! The episodes interviewing midwives about their plan of care for abnormal/unexpected events are very helpful. I also appreciate that so many women have had seamless births for some o... more

  • What a Blessing!

    My name is Christy and I am a NTP (nutritional therapy practitioner) who specializes in women's health before, during, and after pregnancy.

Listening to the Happy Homebirth podcast has been so helpful to me as I prepare for my first birth, especially during the third trimester. As I get closer to my due date, I find myself listening to the Happy Homebirth podcast almost every day as I'm driving, cleaning, or prepping freezer m... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 320: A Mobile Birth: Twins Born Precipitously!
Q: What happened during the actual birth that led to the curb birth scenario?
Contractions accelerated rapidly while Heather was in transit, the midwife's on-site guidance, and the emergency response support combined to deliver the first baby on the curb, with the second delivered shortly after in the ambulance/hospital setting.
Ep 320: A Mobile Birth: Twins Born Precipitously!
Q: How did the ultrasound discovery of twins change your birth plan?
The ultrasound revealed twins and shifted the care approach to planning for separate twin-specific risks, but Heather remained committed to staying with her midwife if possible, and prepared for potential transfer.
Ep 320: A Mobile Birth: Twins Born Precipitously!
Q: What led you to pursue a homebirth with twins, given the high-risk concerns?
Heather explains that prior hospital births, the influence of a supportive midwife, and the possibility of highly personalized, collaborative care made homebirth feel safer and more controllable, even with twins.
Ep 316: Holding the Plan Loosely: Pamela’s Birth Story of Trust and Change
Q: How did you handle prodromal labor and the moments when plans started to feel out of control?
Pamela explains recognizing prodromal labor, the floods in Texas, and personal events that converged to require surrender rather than control. She emphasizes the importance of letting go, relying on faith, and remaining flexible about not matching the ideal birth script, which ultimately helped her stay calm and focused during labor.
Ep 315: From Hyperemesis to Homebirth
Q: What would you say to the mom who is finding herself in the throes of pregnancy in a difficult situation?
First of all, that it's not your fault, that you are enough. You did enough. And if you didn't prep for pregnancy, that's not the reason. You can do it. You are strong enough. Just hold on.
